For people not familiar with the metric system, 166cm is 5' 5.35". That is short for a male and slightly above average for a female. You can stretch the spine, but be careful. It will not increase your height much. You can create an illusion of height several ways. One is to stand erect, not slouch. My brother is 4.5" or 11.43cm taller than I am, but most people think we are the same height. I am 6' 1" or 185.42cm tall and weigh 320 lbs. or 22.86 stone. Al is 6' 5.5" or 196.85cm tall and weighs 212 lbs. or 15.13 stone. Wear dark suits or pants. Vertical stripes also lengthen you. Lighter colors and busy patterns, e.g. plaids, tend to make you look shorter and stockier. You can wear high heels or elevator shoes.

Eat and drink healthily is all you can do honey,its usually down to your parents and ancestors really,if they are average or small you are likely to be....if you are 17 you havent finished growing and developing yet so dont worry,anyhow not all us females like tall men anyway,its the person as a whole being that counts....be happy as you are xx

By doing things that you will be proud of. That will make you like feel you are 10ft tall.
Try not to worry I am sure you'll have growing spurt before too long. Anyway good things come in small parcels don't you know!

There are growth hormones available but why stress over it? Being short isn't such a bad thing!!
